The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- His most important and influential work, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, was published in six volumes between 1776 and 1789, to critical and commercial success.
- It is known for the quality and irony of its prose, its use of primary sources, and its polemical criticism of organised religion.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Edward Gibbon article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
